With this type of game, it’s imperative that you feel in control in combat, and Gunfire has nailed this on the Switch. Firing off a round with your shotgun or rifle feels fantastic, and the aiming is tight, especially when facing a wave of enemies at once. I still loved playing Remnant: From the Ashes on Switch, particularly because of how good it feels to play. Taking away the visual weaknesses and loading problems, its gunplay is weighty and responsive. Upon death or entering a new area, you’re waiting for far too long, and it does cause frustrations when you at the mercy of the Root. One part of Remnant: From the Ashes on Switch where I did get annoyed was the load times. Some locations did appear weaker visually, but there’re still plenty of environments that do pack in a lot of detail, and despite a lot happening on screen at once, I never suffered from a drop in framerate or performance, whether docked or in handheld. Some of the environments are also texturally weak, and while the design is of a post-apocalyptic nature, it still suffers, looking like a game from a much older generation at times. Character models are poor, looking old and weathered, with certain aspects of them looking glued together and wooden. While Remnant: From the Ashes on Switch manages to nail the gameplay pretty well, it’s visuals take a backseat. While it can be tough, there’s more than enough help if you know where to look. You’ll be able to unlock mods for your weapons and buy new ones, upgrade them, and more. While it’s unforgiving at times due to the nature of the efficient and brutal enemies, having a wide range of guns certainly helps you to fight back against them. You, along with a bunch of survivors, must do whatever it takes to wipe them out. If you never played the original, Remnant: From the Ashes is a post-apocalyptic ARPG set in a world where an evil entity called ‘The Root’ threatens the survival of mankind. Knowing how some bigger games have failed when ported to the Switch, is Remnant: From the Ashes one of those that doesn’t hold up, or is it good enough to bring in a swathe of new players. With its sequel coming at some point this year (hopefully!), players can now experience the original on Nintendo’s portable console. When Remnant: From the Ashes arrived in 2019, many were surprised at how Gunfire Games managed to fuse Soulslike elements and gunplay to create a tough yet satisfying gameplay loop.
